and other updates from Councillor Male
After many months of toing and froing between D&G Council and Scottish Water as to who is responsible for fixing the large sinkkhole on the road at the entrance to David Street from the Market Place, a fix is in sight.
Residents and businesses affected by the works have been notified by the council that work will commence on Monday, 16th September and is likely to last two days,
depending on the weather.
Parking around this area will be restricted and a one-way diversion route will be implemented with temporary traffic signals in place. Access to the Health Centre will be maintained during the works.
As well as the depression in the road being fixed, Cllr Male expects rubber parking stops to be placed outside First Bite café to stop cars encroaching the pavement and repairs to be done to the pavement at the Health Centre.
